Hey Mikey, Oris make tough, reliable mechanical watches. The watch on my wrist is now worn by my son and he loves it. They are bulky, but not heavy.

Oris make about 3 Titanium divers I think. The lightest is the 300m and the heaviest is the Carlos Coste 2000M diver with a 47mm case.

There is a web and forum if you Google "The Friends of Oris"

Also check out their website at www.oris.ch/

That's a beauty Vernon, congrats and wear it in good health.

Co-axial movements are very accurate.

Have a read of this link. It's about the guy who invented co-axials:

Love the Seahorse logo at the back. Also helps to grip the watch on the wrist better.

It's the same size. You can tell by the bezels. The 42mm has turret like edges whereas the 45.5mm has bezel edges that are 'scalloped'.
